Agricultural Innovation in Asia: Drivers, Paradigms and Performance

G. Gijsbers · 2009 · Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS)

Summary. Agricultural innovation in Asia has driven impressive productivity gains, but faces mounting pressures from climate change, land loss, and population growth.

Each paradigm involves different technologies, actors, and networks with varying performance outcomes across Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Effective innovation policies must align with each paradigm's specific opportunities and constraints.
